My wife's family (bunch of rabid Pats fans) purchased a trip to the game on Dec 15th and I was forced to go at gunpoint (trust me, I want to see the Phins in Miami but not with 25 clueless Pats clowns).

So the package deal has us staying in Ft Lauderdale and giving us transportation to the game. My questions:

Where are the fun bars (for a 30+ crowd) in Ft Lauderdale?

Where is a good bar to drink at before the game since we won't have a car to tailgate?

How bad of a ride is it from Ft Lauderdale (I believe we are staying at the Courtyard Marriott)?

Is there a standing room area in the stadium I can sneak off to (so I don't have to sit in the Pats section)?

Last and most important - any Phinfever members going to that game? If you are and have a good bar recommendation the first few beers are on me.

GO PHINS!!!!!

Re: Fins-Pats Game In December

jammer, not going to the game but if you want to get away from the Pats fans and hang out with a Dolphins fan and have a beer, I'm down. Meet you at the Quarterdeck.

Jammer, this might just be me, but I find it incredibly fun being one of the few fans in the opposing teams' section. I went to the Miami/Kansas City game back in December '08. My dad and I were the only Dolphins fans in the section, and it was so great when we walked out of there winners!

Done. I will PM as we get closer to the game.

Oh I hear you and agree. But this is my wife's family so it will not be pleasant for me to be around them win or lose. I've been to a few Pats-Phins games in MA and have had no problem getting heckled. I guess its different when its 20 people you know very well being obnoxious versus 20 randoms.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped to finally get down to Miami to see a game...its just now how I envisioned my first trip.
